Thankful for these two. They made it easier for me to finish a book I borderline dreaded reading. Why did I dread it? Well, continue reading below.
Book:
After Insurgent, I was so frustrated that when I tried to get to this book, I just couldn't do it so I set it to the side, for at least 3 years. I was determined to finish the trilogy though. I refused to get that far in the trilogy not to finish it. Insurgent really worked on my nerves because of all the childishness that was that book. And, there was some spoiler'ish things said about this book but I wasn't quite sure who it applied to but pretty sure I knew/know but I thought I would read, well, listen to it anyway to see if it was a correct assumption.
Was it correct? Did I get spoiled on what I thought it was?
Yes. And that’s what frustrates me most. When people spoil books or movies. Intentionally or not but especially if it’s intentional. Just because most around you have read it, doesn’t mean all have and the least some can do is say they are giving potential spoilers before just putting it out there. The person that gave the spoiler, I don’t remember exactly who it was but they gave something away and that added to why it took so long for me to get to this book. I was ticked! Now, knowing what I knew, I skipped ahead a bit when I got to the last 75 pages or so to see if I was right on what happened and I was (Hey, I had been spoiled already). It then became finding out the how of it all. I think by this point, I just wanted to finish this trilogy and be done. It doesn’t take much to spoil me on books and ruin it for me. That’s why I don’t read or listen to too many reviews before hand. And not many after either because I like just having my own thoughts on a book not ruined either! 😂 childish,I know! 😆
For this one though, i am curious to see folks thoughts on why they didn’t like the books. I didn’t hate it... just wasn’t my thing really.
The book drug along. Just, ugh! I am glad I finally finished off the trilogy but I just wasn't fond of this one or the second one. Allegiant wasn't as bad but I still didn't enjoy it as much as I did Divergent. The arrogance of some of the side characters are annoying. She isn't a bad writer, I just think these books weren't for me. Dystopian books I think are just outside my comfort zone but very interesting and good to read. Some things just remind me of things I see in the real world and where we could end up if we aren't careful, especially this trilogy!
